The Power of This Pie

It’s sweet how Vitamin A always makes my Turkey Day

You can have your traditional fare —

Turkey, Stuffing — even that Green Bean Casserole —

(The Cliché of Mushroom Soup, dehydrated “French” onions, never Optional.)

But please make sure I have Yams on my Plate.

Sweet Potato Pie makes the feast complete.

Beta Carotene and Sugar work together to turn this

Powerful Holiday Miracle into an Easy “A” assignment on my Turkey Day Bucket List.

Nana’s not here, but if her trademark confection makes an appearance.

I’m Thankful — Grateful —

for memories and present-day shenanigans —

Always.
